Organizing Data

Health Research

Health research aims to find better ways to treat, prevent and cure disease.

This vital component of healthcare can take multiple forms and present a variety of risks and opportunities. Whether it is a clinical trial, secondary data research, research ethics board protocol review, or a material transfer agreement, we keep the aims of the study top of mind while advising researchers, funders, and health care organizations. We also advise on deidentification of data for research purposes, and questions of research versus quality.

Our services include:

Agreements - Material transfer, clinical trial, data sharing, basic science
Research ethics board advice
Research misconduct
Protocol reviews
Informed consents
Deidentified data

New MAID Reporting Requirements

As of November 1, 2018, the federal Ministry of Health released The Regulations for the Monitoring of Medical Assistance in Dying,[1] requiring reporting of medical assistance in dying (MAID) in cases where:

medical and nurse practitioners have received a request for MAID in writing and take certain actions, and
pharmacists have dispensed a substance in connection with the provision of MAID.

The reporting rules are complex and quite detailed. Please contact either mjdykeman@ddohealthlaw.com or nghalustians@ddohealthlaw.com for more information.
